How did a casual drinking club of nine ambitious young cooks turn into a legit chefs collaborative tackling the betterment of Colorado Springs’ food scene 20 years ago? Matthew’s joined by longtime Springs chefs Brent Beavers (Immerse Cuisine, BFD), Jay Gust (Tapateria, Pizzeria Rustica, Homa Café Bar), and James Africano (The Warehouse). We discuss part of the Springs’ food history, specifically a time 20 years ago when these chefs were part of a chefs collaborative called Club 9. We learn about their intent then and now, and their more experienced (old guard) viewpoint on today’s food and drink scene.
